- [Instructor] Even though
I'm creating this message
in the middle of the night,
I actually don't need Reggie to see it
until Monday morning
when Reggie gets to work at 8:00 AM.
Now, in the past
I think people just sent messages
whenever they were done
but there appears to be an increased sensitivity
to getting email and calls,
and everything else during the hours
that we're not working.
So I can schedule the send of this message
not just to accommodate Reggie's schedule,
but because it's polite,
and it takes me a few seconds.
On the options tab of the message,
I choose schedule now,
and I actually choose a time
when I would like that to be sent now.
Normally, what's offered to me
is the next two mornings at 8:00 AM
but tomorrow is Saturday, the next day Sunday.
So I really want to choose the 24th
at 8:00 AM and set that up.
My choice from here is send or schedule send,
which is where I just was by the way.
Now I'm ready to send this message
so the message appears to hang around the outbox.
You can see that it's a scheduled send,
and when it's going to send.
Sometimes when I do this,
the message doesn't remain in the drafts folder,
it doesn't remain wherever I created it,
but that's how it works,
and I don't think we're ever going
to see an outbox here in the new Outlook.
So it's just something that
we have to get used to.
At 8:00 AM on Monday,
that email should show up in my sent items
with one proviso.
Outlook is a client for Microsoft Exchange,
and it can only send email when it's online.
So for example,
if I forget to turn my computer on
on on Monday at 8:00 AM,
well then this message won't be sent
until I do fire up Outlook.
But most of us are running Outlook all the time,
and if you are,
then this schedule send will work well for you.
If not, you'll need to remember to be online
during the time that the message
would actually be sent.
